Pros

- Free bagels in the morning. - Some of the management staff are very friendly and nice, and trying to do their best, but bullied by the CEO.

Cons

- Everything else. - The CEO runs this place into the ground. Expect to be overworked, under-supported, pressured constantly with no idea of what it is you're actually supposed to be doing. - High-stress job where you're at the whims of a capricious overseer.

We are sorry to learn that you were dissatisfied with your experience at OPSWAT. We wish we were able to address your areas of concern while you were still with the company. Hopefully, whatever path you have pursued since is better aligned with your goals. For those of you who are reviewing our Glassdoor profile in consideration of working with us: Our CEO's management style is hands-on, direct, helpful, and responsive. He founded the company, and therefore has passion, clear vision, and determination to continue to lead the company to new heights. Please keep in mind that we are a relatively small company, therefore his guidance can naturally trickle down to individual departments. At times, our CEO provides his help or guidance when he sees that a department needs it. He makes a sincere effort to help teams thrive. We have noticed that the majority of Glassdoor reviews commenting on our CEO’s management style show signs that they had some type of lapse of communication with him. Many employees have excellent relationships with our CEO because they have established a good report that is based on trust, respect, and consistent communication. In general, we have seen that employees who offer consistent communication, project status updates, thoughtful and well-researched proposals, and project follow-through often have the best relationships with him. This type of approach is often a good recipe for any work relationship.

What does OPSWAT have to offer employees? We are excited to let any potential job candidates out there know exactly what makes OPSWAT a great place to work. /// We have a large company event at least once per quarter; team building events throughout the year; and, regular small get-togethers. Fostering and maintaining a healthy, happy, and productive culture is very important to us! As our Human Resources and Operations Teams continue to grow, we have dedicated increasingly more effort into providing an excellent employee experience. /// Our employees are friends with one another. There is clear comradery at our offices. /// We have a strong management team. /// We have beautiful offices. /// We offer competitive perks. /// We keep our kitchen stocked with a wide variety of food options and provide dinner to those who work late. We hope these insights have helped paint a more holistic picture of what it’s like to work at OPSWAT for potential candidates.
